s she had thryroid test within that past year as both thyroid and celiac are common autoimmine diseases with type 1 and constipation is a sypotom of thyroid disease.
t find anything, My doctor said that my problem could be related to the Thyroid so he ordered me to do some blood tests, Then the doctor said that I should take thyroid medicine as my TSH level is a bit high and that might be the cause of my constipation problems, He recommended me to take [Levoxyl 25 MCG]...
After I left I requested to see the lab results and I found that my TSH 3RD Generation level was 4.02 mIU/L, and that the Normal range between 0.47 low - 4.
The medical field will lace you with antacid meds and IBS Rx meds to mask your condition and the end result is those meds throw your thyroid meds completely out of whack.

It's not the thyroxine that causes the constipation, it's being hypothyroid. I struggled with constipation of and on for years (I believe I went back and forth between hyper and hypo); and now that I've got my thyroid levels close to where I need them, I find that I no longer have to have the "daily help" using the bathroom. I also take a daily enzyme which helps break down food better.

These are some of my main symptoms when I am hypo no period and constipation along with fatigue. I am glad you were able to get treatment and desiccated at that your on the right track.
Prior to the hyperthyroid episode, I never thought that my symptoms may have been related to thyroid and never had a thyroid test done. I have no family history of thyroid illness. It is one year later and my thyroid levels (TSH and T4) seem to be flucutating. I went from Hyperthyroid to hypothyroid to normal levels. Lately some of my symptoms have returned i.e constipation and hair loss and blood test showed high TSH, T4 still with in normal range.
hello hoping someone out there will read and respond to this topic .does the constipation increase because i am pregnant and that my tsh levels are 6.13 or is it just the syptom of the synthetic hormone isn't right yet? my doctor knows i am 8wks pregnant. he has just raised my synthroid levels to 125mcg. but i fear that they should be higher because my constipation is so severe and muscle weakness will this affect my unborn child?

Yes, I have been tested for both high and low thyroid, and all were within normal levels. (2 doctors checked) I do not have diabetes and I too feel like the calorie (or lack of) is an issue but I just expected something to work by now. I just am at a loss. She renewed my RX for phentermine... the last one supposedly as it can only be given for 3 months. Some people said tonight I looked like I had lost but the clothes and the scale do not say the same.
Her thyroid functions are normal as her TSH and FT4 is normal. She may not require any thyroid replacement as of now, but in view of high TPOab, she may require regular thyroid blood test and treatment if required.
Your second daughter's report is relatively normal, except for T4 total. Free hormones are more reliable than total hormones. As her Free T4 is normal we can ignore the value of T4 total. TSH is a range and as long as it is within normal ranges nothing to be concerned.

I have been off of Crestor for approximately five months. I suffer daily with pain, constipation and stomach issues. I also have a bad memory and horrible concentration. Could all of this be related to my thyroid being too low? The muscle issues, stomach issues, constipation, memory? I need help and don't know where to even begin to get it. I feel out of control and I just want my life back ! I am only 47, but I feel like I am 80.
